[harry hills]

well, started work on the dove from above today, making the led powerlight is proving very fun!

my drive setup so far:




ingnoring my own ideas already, will set aside some money for getting a disc made for me, hopefully around £120

Looking good, but if I'm not mistaken, you would get better hits with less teeth. With just 2, or even 1, all of the weight of the disc gets rammed into one blow. If you have 4, say, you would probably lock onto a robot comfortably but the blows would be spread out over 4 teeth. I mean, you get more energy into one impact with less teeth than you do with more, which is why more teeth are used on cutting weapons, as you get a slicing action as against to a SMASH HUGE EXPLOSION type action with few teeth.

Of course, maybe you want to slice and not demolish, in which case you want more than 4 teeth.

the disc needs a bit more work, it was just stuck on so i could see what it looked like

[jonny]

ditch the 4wd and use a bigger disk

decided on the name 'Altus' for grim reaper

How many spinners are there that exist with only 1 tooth? I know Professor Chaos has only one tooth

savage evo ( a robot of similar design). grinded off a bit of rust today from grim reaper feather thing and altus, didn't do much as tired and the novelty off sparks soon wore off
